Main Street U.S.A. hub redevelopment at the Magic Kingdom

[Animaniac93-98]

This is certainly much better than the blank wall, the area to either side of the faux window still looks a bit bare, perhaps there's more to come, but not bad either way.

They'll probably add more faux brick pattern (or something similar) to the rest of the blank wall space.

Ok nerd alert for a second I though the rigging in far top left of photo was an ATAT beginning it's assualt on the castle. (I almost panicked)

While that would simultaneously be both the coolest and most tragic news, I think you need sleep

Exactly would you be sad. Or just too awsome to care.

Too awesome for sure, but it's one of those "I'd regret it in the morning" deals. I'd either want an ATAT attack every day, or the castle in pristine condition.

I know it's not done... I am just wondering why they removed the scaffolding without putting the finishing touches.

Under union rules, that's a red ladder job. He's not available until November.

My guess is there are going to make that look like brick or something along those lines.

Photo update as of Thursday, September 24. Originally reported on September 4th, the scrim is now removed and a new building façade has appeared to the left of the Town Plaza Restaurant, extending the Main Street theme into the bypass area. Originally, this was a plain brick wall.

This was never actually painted to look like a brick wall. It was the walls further down that still are. This was as plain as plain can be.

What are you seeing or think you should be seeing that I am not?

Budget cuts.

There is plain backstage building between two facades. No effort to theme the middle portion

I took this pic back in March because I thought it looked quite pretty and rather striking. Depends perhaps on what color the Castle is at any given point in time since it varies colors throughout the evening.

That is a gorgeous photo. And again, I LOVE that color!

Both plain sides are part of a single facade. It is not unusual to see building with a section that is ornate in the middle and plain on both sides. It's how many buildings are designed. There is nothing missing that is supposed to be there. That is why I had to ask, nothing at all seems out of place to me. Should every square inch be ornate for it to be realistic or is it the other way around?

How would you suggest that be able to transition from one structure to another without a change of design?

My guess is that the original scaffolding was put in place to install the facade (which may have been prefab and pre painted) but was not appropriate for paining the rest of the building.
I would imaging the rest of the building will be painted to blend in or painted a go away green or blue if trees are replanted in front. You can see paint scaffolding further down, so they are not done yet and will likely work their way to this corner.

It's not done yet.

But I don't expect you to be reasoned with or understand that.

If I could give this 10 likes, I would.

Looking good. The paint budget must have been restored overnight.

It's really nice to see that issue finally addressed.

Looking good!

Hub update: still a mess, construction workers in view working on said mess.
